31 "It rubs the ______ on its skin. It does this whenever it is told." What did Buffalo Bill want Catherine Martin to rub on her skin?
Answer: lotion

Buffalo Bill had kidnapped Catherine Martin, the daughter of Senator Ruth Martin, and was keeping her in a deep pit in the basement of a house in Belvedere, Ohio. He would say the quoted line to Catherine as he lowered a bottle of lotion into the pit, using a basket tied to the end of some string. Bill's use of the impersonal pronoun "it" to refer to Catherine can be contrasted with Senator Martin's televised plea for her life, which employed numerous photos of Catherine and repeatedly referred to her by her name. Senator Martin was trying to make Catherine's kidnapper see her as a person instead of an object, while Bill was clearly dehumanizing Catherine to make it easier for him to do what he had to do when the time came to kill her.
32 What size was Catherine Martin?
Answer: 14

She's a "big" girl.
33 *loudly* "Don't you make me hurt your dog, mister!" Who said it?

Catherine Martin is played by Brooke Smith.

Clarice finds his head in a jar in a car in the storage area.
35 What kind of segue did Starling have regarding the questionnaire?

'Your were courteous, you responded to courtesy-even with the embarassing truth about Miggs...' in that oh-so-mocking West Virginian accent.
36 How long did Clarice live at her relative's ranch after her father died?
Answer: Two months

37 Who was Buffalo Bill's first female victim?
Answer: Frederica Bimmel

Jack Crawford told Clarice this information as they were riding in a car to West Virginia to see a body that had been discovered and that was later seen on the autopsy table. He also handed her the case file. Brooke Smith was the actress who played Katherine Martin, the woman we saw Buffalo Bill lure into his van and kidnap.
38 "That's _______ the first one, her body's the only one he took the trouble to weigh down, so actually, she was the third girl found. What word is missing in this quote?
Answer: Frederika

She was the only one he took the trouble to weigh down, because she was the only one that he knew. It wasthrough following up this lead that Starling found Buffalo Bill.

42 "Your anagrams are showing, Doctor. Louis Friend? Iron sulfide, also known as ______." What other name for iron sulfide did Clarice use in this sentence?
Answer: fool's gold

When Lecter revealed the true identity of Buffalo Bill to be Louis Friend, in exchange for a transfer to another prison in Tennessee, Clarice became suspicious about the relative ease with which he gave up such valuable information. Lecter had previously demonstrated a fondness for anagrams (he had sent Clarice to seek out a storage facility leased by one Hester Mofet, an anagram for "the rest of me", which meant that Lecter had rented the facility), and she quickly discovered that "Louis Friend" was an anagram for "iron sulfide", also known as iron pyrite or fool's gold. She therefore knew that Lecter was sending the authorities on a wild goose chase, and said this line to him, when she confronted him about it. The term "fool's gold" came to be used to describe any treasure or bounty that turned out to be worthless, after Martin Frobisher led a series of expeditions in the mid 16th century to transport 200 tons of iron sulfide from Greenland back to England, thinking it to be precious gold.
43 How did Multiple Miggs die?
Answer: Swallowing his own tongue

I wonder if that's possible. Although it's a movie, anything possible.
44 "Are you about a size 14?"
Answer: Buffalo Bill

During this scene, Buffalo Bill lures Catherine Martin into his truck by acting like he's got a broken arm and acting like he needs help loading furniture into the truck.
45 What is the full name of the person who rented the storage space in Baltimore?
Answer: Hester Mofet

The rest of me, Dr. Lecter? What did you mean by a fledgling killer?
46 What is Clarice's middle initial?
Answer: M

47 "Clarice, doesn't this random scattering of sites seem desperately random - like the elaborations of a bad ______?" What type of person did Dr. Lecter use to illustrate his point?
Answer: liar

This line was said by Clarice's friend, Ardelia, who was reading out loud a note that Dr. Lecter had left for her, on a map showing the locations where Buffalo Bill's victims were found in various rivers. Lecter was pointing out that there was, in fact, no pattern to the random scattering of the bodies of Bill's victims. This was significant because Bill was attempting to draw attention away from his first victim, Frederica Bimmel, who happened to be the only body Bill weighed down. Just like a bad liar would attempt to compensate for telling a lie by over-elaborating, Bill was dumping the bodies of his subsequent victims in a "desperately random" fashion in the hopes that the authorities would not focus too much on his very first victim. This coupled with the earlier revelation about the true nature of Buffalo Bill ("He covets.") made Clarice realize that Bill was trying to detract from the fact that he had known Frederica, who had fallen victim to his covetous nature.
48 Who was NOT in the first movie?
Answer: Julianne Moore

Julianne Moore played Clarice Starling in "Hannibal".
49 Who first notices that there's an object shoved into "A corpse's" throat?
